Toolsa TPT-600 Petrol Edge Power Trowel (Honda GX 160 | 4.8 HP)

What jobs is the Toolsa TPT-600 power trowel with a Honda engine suited for?

The Toolsa TPT-600 with a Honda GX 160 engine is used for floating and finishing fresh concrete floors where access to the edges matters: along walls, around columns, in corridors, garages and smaller rooms. The 600 mm working diameter reaches places that 900 mm machines cannot, and the rotating guard ring with a rubber bumper protects the walls while you work along them. In large halls it complements a bigger trowel by finishing the strips along the walls that the large machine cannot cover. The 3.6 kW (4.8 HP) engine and the 70–140 rpm rotor speed are enough for both pan floating and blade finishing.

How does the TPT-600 with a Honda GX 160 engine differ from the Rato R210 version?

Both versions of the Toolsa TPT-600 share the same design: a 600 mm working diameter, 4 blades, a rotor speed of 70–140 rpm, a rotating guard ring with a bumper and a trowel pan in the set. They differ in the engine. The Honda GX 160 version has a displacement of 163 cm³, 3.6 kW (4.8 HP) and a 3.1 l fuel tank. The Rato R210 version has 5.1 kW (7 HP) and a 3.6 l tank, so it offers more power reserve. The Honda GX 160 is one of the most common engines in construction machines, so an air filter, carburettor or starter rope is easy to source, and some of them are available at NORWIT.PL.

How do you choose the right power trowel diameter for a floor?

The pan diameter decides how much concrete the machine works in one pass and where it fits. A 600 mm pan, like the one on the Toolsa TPT-600, covers about 0.28 m², and a 900 mm pan about 0.64 m², which is more than twice as much. A 60 cm trowel works well in rooms a few metres wide, on stair landings, along walls and around columns. On open floors a 90 cm machine or a ride-on trowel is faster, and the 60 cm model then finishes the edges. Many crews own both machines and use them on the same slab.

How much fuel does the TPT-600 with a Honda engine use and how long does a tank last?

The Honda GX 160 engine in the Toolsa TPT-600 burns about 1.4 l of petrol per hour at 3600 rpm, which is full throttle. The 3.1 l tank therefore lasts for more than 2 hours of continuous work, and longer at lower engine speeds. The engine runs on ordinary unleaded petrol with no oil added to the fuel, because it is a four-stroke unit. The crankcase takes 0.6 l of engine oil. On a larger floor keep a jerrycan on site so you do not have to stop floating at the moment the concrete reaches the right hardness.

What is in the set and which accessories are worth having for the TPT-600?

The Toolsa TPT-600 set includes the machine with 4 blades and a 600 mm trowel pan, so you can start work straight after purchase: pan floating first, then blade finishing. Blades wear with every floor, which is why the product page lists a set of Barikell Pala 4-60 blades for 60 cm trowels as an accessory. For the Honda GX 160 engine it is worth keeping a spare air filter and a starter rope. For heavier use you will also need grease for the spider grease point, which should be topped up regularly.

How do you look after a power trowel with a Honda GX 160 engine?

Before every start check the oil level in the Honda GX 160 engine, which holds 0.6 l; the oil level sensor stops the engine when the level is too low, but it does not replace checking. The air filter has a paper element and a foam pre-filter, which need regular cleaning on a dusty site. After work wash concrete residue off the pan, blades and guard ring before it sets. The spider has an easy-to-reach grease point, and the blade pitch knob should turn freely across its full range.
